I’ve had several more opportunities within the last couple weeks to connect with some great churches across the country. Here are the highlights:
- West Ridge Church (Dallas, GA) – I attended a Sunday service at West Ridge with my family. Their senior pastor, Brian Bloye, is a solid guy. Love his heart for church planters in particular. I’m excited that West Ridge is my first stop on the Killing Cockroaches Summer Tour.
- Christ Fellowship (Miami, FL) – It was fun talking about leadership with the staff team at Christ Fellowship, and then discussing communications strategy with with their new communications group. And, I was honored to hangout with Eric Geiger, their executive pastor. You need to read his book, Simple Church, if you haven’t already.
- Harvest Church (Billings, MT) – No, I haven’t been to Montana, but it would be fun to make the trip at some point. I did, however, get to chat with Vern Streeter, the lead pastor at Harvest Church, about what’s happening in their ministry in Big Sky Country.
- VantagePoint Church (Eastvale, CA) – I got to hang out with Mark Lee and the team of VantagePoint for a day. The church launched about a year ago, and they’ve already had over 800 people attend their services in recent weeks. In case you’re wondering, that’s not normal. With that rapid growth in mind, we had a chance to talk about some next steps to help them continue to reach more people for Jesus.
I don’t exactly know what the future looks like, but I’m loving the chance I’ve had in recent weeks to connect with great leaders in vibrant churches across the country. It’s been a fun journey.
Glad things are going well and God is unveiling a little more each day for you. Hope all is well with Emily and the kids!
